“I WISH IT WAS CHRISTMAS” AT DUNDRUM METHODIST IN DUBLIN

 We have just finished our autumn term with a beautiful nativity play and party.  The play is called " I wish it was Christmas" and involved all the children.  This year we had help from a Trinity Drama student (Hazel and former junior CE member) for the first 2 rehearsals and she was great at involving the children in the whole production.  Our CE children were brilliant at adapting and suggesting ideas of how best to do the play.  Jayne Duff kindly came back to help finish off the production.  Our Juniors worked well together and were very good at learning their lines.  The story line was very short but focused on the need to combat poverty in simple ways and reminded everyone through the nativity of why we celebrate Christmas.  The children brought parcels for distribution to our homeless in Dublin.  Parents were invited to contribute to the Lo-Debar charity.  Santa came with presents followed by a party with a Christmas light display, thanks to our friend Stephen Stroughaire who is gifted at doing Christmas decorating.  A great way to end our year.
